Other than the crazy amount of rain on my 2nd night at 2:30am, everything was great! Dana was incredibly helpful at check-in, providing a bunch of important details regarding the campground, the shuttle to Deadwood and setting me up with the best tent site...all with a wonderful, friendly demeanor. My brother had stayed here before and highly recommended it for my trip. 5 stars!

I just drove up and asked if they had room for a tent camper. Told Gary I'd stay in my truck in case of rain and asked if that was okay. He said sure. It was clean, friendly, safe and a beautiful place to spend the night. I plan to return the next time I visit. Thank you.

I absolutely love the KOA in Deadwood. We rented a deluxe cabin and it had everything we needed. The staff was amazing and so were the grounds keepers (2 donkeys, and a handful of goats)! My kids loved see the dogs, donkeys, and goats before heading to the heated pool for a swim. They have a great gift shop/general store. If you get a chance, talk to Bonita about the yellow building! We'll be back

Stayed 5 nights here on a motorcycle tent camping trip. The staff here could not be better! Owners and workers were very friendly and outgoing. The site had power and water that worked the first time, which was unusual this trip. Tent sites have nice rubber mulch pads that are comfortable. Rates are very reasonable for the start of the summer season here. Happy Campers!

We had a blast! We drove straight through and ended up arriving a day early. Dana and Gary were so accommodating and helped us get into a temporary camping site for the night. The next day they helped us get into our reserve site. They are both just terrificand great to work with. The staff at the KOA was amazing. Everyone was so friendly and so helpful. We’re definitely coming back. This is the

I had a nice stay at Deadwood. Quiet at night, good clean restroom/shower, and I like taking the trolley into Deadwood. I hope to see you next year.

The Hosts Gary & Dana were helpful, friendly and were a delight to meet! The mini burro and goats were great neighbors! The site was awesome and location was shady. The pool and hot tub were well maintained and heaven to use after riding motorcycles every day!

This was our first time in Deadwood and this KOA was beautiful. Bathrooms were clean, the kids loved the pool and the snacks from the store. It was an amazing experience for our first time and we can't wait to come back!

I enjoyed camping here. This place has the best bathroom/shower. The bathrooms are separate rooms with a shower and a toilet. After weeks on the road that was awesome. Plus staff was very nice and place was clean.

Very friendly staff and warn us about upcoming weather. After storm they drove around to make sure everyone was ok. Offered to find us a cabin if tent didn’t make it. Thank you KOA staff!

Our tent site was lovely and the entire KOA was really charming. We found the staff to be friendly and especially helpful when asked about transportation to Deadwood. They have a friendly canine ambassador and even a petting zoo. The pool was open one day of our stay but not the other, things happen, this is no complaint. I will absolutely stay here again!

Excellent

We’re really enjoyed our stay and felt a very warm welcome. The only downside was that each campsite was extremely close to each other. We would definitely stay again, but the price you pay for a tent spot so close to another tent spot or cabin doesn’t seem worth it. Very little privacy. The hot water heater was great! Stayed hot the entire time needed!

We were tent camping one night. Pete... makes this stay a 5 star. Trolley runs to and from KOA to Deadwood. Tent sites have a very nice pad. Electricity and water at site. No fire pit, does have a permanent grill at site. Standard mens/women bathrooms with very small shower stalls.

Gary was very welcoming. Campground was very clean. Employee helped me find my site. Showers/bathrooms were very clean.

It was really, really good. The people were friendly.

Tiny tent site on the edge of a hill, right up against the highway. The vehicle sounds all night long were pretty awful :(

We had a tent site at the very top of the campground. I gave 4 stars due to we set up on a gravel spot which is not a problem except it was nearly impossible to get our tent stakes secured down. We bent almost all our stakes. The campground staff was friendly and helpful, the bathroom facilities were clean and well maintained and our child loved Pete and friends and feeding them. We will be back!

It was short and sweet but we were so happy to have a clean and dry place with an amazing bathroom shower that was private and warm

One of the best places I stayed. I would definitely come back here.

Good water pressure, friendly and helpfully staff, lower tent sites need a little work.

Possibly my favorite KOA! Gorgeous, awesome tent spot, nice folks, great pool and laundry facilities.
Jun 20, 2024
Loved the location and the trolley down to explore Deadwood without having to drive. Top notch.
Jun 19, 2024
The pool, hot tub and hosts were all awesome! The tent spot/parking was very small, we hardly had room to put up two chairs outside the tent, very misleading photos. If we had the chance to stay again, would definitely stay in the primitive, not sandwiched in where there was no room to sit and enjoy.

Location is great, the people running the camp were super nice. Big shout out to Gary, I wont get into details but he helped me in a big way. He also befriended my son who has the same name and made his stay more enjoyable. The donkey, Pete, and his goat friends were a nice touch. The pool and hot tub were open which was fun. The tent sites were a little small but served us well.
Jun 17, 2024
The hosts were fantastic! We loved the location and convenience of the trolley! Pete the donkey was a hit. Tent site was very small and we could hear people snoring in the tents of the adjacent sites. But all in all the location was great and the hospitality was outstanding!
Jun 04, 2024
Nice bathrooms/showers. I imagine it’s a bit cozy when busy as the sites are close together, but it was perfect when I was there. Gary and all the staff I met were super friendly and helpful!

This was a fantastic location to stay at for several nights. The owners were very helpful, kind, and welcoming! The location in proximity to deadwood is very convenient. The bathrooms, pool, and hot tub were very well maintained and clean. I would highly recommend staying here.

I stayed here 11-16 July 2026 as a female solo tent camper. I was participating in my first ever 3 Wheel Rally and had driven my Spyder from Columbia, SC. When I checked in late afternoon the staff was friendly & kind. They could tell I had been driving awhile pointed out the bathroom. I was tent camping and while there I had visitors, the resident goats & burrow all friendly and curious. The pool and hot tub were wonderful during that heat wave. The bathrooms were clean as was the camp grounds. Im hoping to return to this KOA next year. It was just so peaceful.
